GETTING STARTED

Congratulations on your purchase of the fabulous

Ecopot Quick Pot. Before using the Ecopot Quick

Pot for the ﬁrst time, wash the Inner Pot (C), the

Outer Lid (A) and the Inner Lid (B) with warm

soapy water; use a dish cloth or a non-abrasive

sponge. To separate the Inner and Outer Lids for

cleaning, grip the medium rubber gasket

of the Inner Lid and pull out gently.

PARTS

CAUTION

The Ecopot Quick Pot’s inner pot will be hot

after cooking. Always use silicone grips or pot

holders when removing it for safety.

LID PLACEMENT

(a) Steam Vent Positioning

Ensure the steam vent located on the lid is

ALWAYS LOCKED INTO POS ITION AT THE

REAR of the cooker during use. The steam

vent must never be positioned to the front

of the cooker. Failure to do so may result in

condensation forming on the cooker.

(b) Clip Locks

Ensure clip locks “snap “ into their security

slots located on the lid.

OPERATING QUICK GUIDE

Never load the Inner Pot beyond the MAX line (X). Rotate the Inner Pot to make certain that it is

seated properly on the Heating Plate.

• Always make certain the Steam Vent (G) is clear of any obstructions, especially food debris.

Note: The small holes in the Inner Lid (B) are for ventilation, and like the Steam Vent (G) must

also remain clean and free of food debris.

• Attach the AC Power Cord (E) to the cooker (D) then plug the AC Power Cord into standard

240V power outlet.

• Place ingredients in the Inner Pot (C) as per the recipe. Place the Inner Pot into the cooker.

Put on the Outer Lid (A). When properly placed, the lid will not rotate.

• Secure the Outer Lid (A) with the Lid Locks (F).

Note: The Ecopot Quick Pot remains in Heat Mode until the unit reaches a predetermined

internal temperature. Once that temperature is reached, the unit automatically switches to the

“Keep Warm” Mode preventing overcooking or burning. Follow the procedures and “Cooking

Times” shown in the recipe booklet until you become fully familiar with the unit’s operation.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

• Never use the WARM function for longer than 2 hours.

• If Quick Pot switches to WARM mode before food is fully cooked, inadequate liquid content

has been added.

• Overly sweet or oily foods can cause Quick Pot to switch to WARM earlier than desired.

If this occurs, add more liquid.

• When baking in the Quick Pot, you will need to press COOK more than once. Once

Quick Pot has ﬁnished cooking and turns to Warm mode, wait 5 minutes and press

COOK again.

• The WARM setting keeps food above 60ºC, the food safety standard for bacteria.

• Never double recipe quantities. Doing so may force excess hot liquid to spill out of the steam

vent. If this occurs, unplug the Quick Pot and allow it to cool thoroughly before removing the

lid to avoid possible injury.

SPECIFICATIONS

Model Number Power Rating Functions Operating Temperature

ECPQP01 240V, 60HZ, 200W Cook, Warm Cook 100º-103ºC / 212º-217ºF

Non stick inner pot Warm 60º-80ºC / 140º-176ºF

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cook Switch

In the event that the cookers mode switches from Cook to Warm and

meal is not cooked to your satisfaction (usually puddings, muﬃns, dense

meats and cakes) the cookers auto thermo sensor will require a short

return period, ie to return to a thermal cooler temperature. Then the

cooker can be switched back to cook mode. This is not a fault with the

unit, but a built-in anti overheating precaution.

Over Filling

ENSURE COOKER IS NEVER OVER FILLED WITH LIQUID. ALWAYS KEEP

STEAM VENT OPEN AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO

DO SO MAY RESULT IN CONDENSATION FORMING ON THE COOKERS

SIDE AND RISK EXPOSURE TO CIRCUIT SHORTENING. WHEN PUTTING

THE LID ON, ALWAYS POSITION THE STEAM VENT AT THE BACK OF

THE COOKER AND NOT AT THE FRONT. [ X = Steam Vent ]

Power Cord

Always ensure the black power cord is fuly inserted into the cookers power

supply socket. Failure to do so may cause the circuit to shorten and result

in power outage. No responsibility can be taken with failure to do so.
